DEERING.
Sunday, some boys from the city, who
were gathering acorns from the trees Just be-
yond the ball ground in Deering, began a
fight which they would have finished had it
not been for the interference of Constable
Bailey, who CHANGED to be passing on the
horse car 1t was proposed by one boy that
two Of his companions should fight, but up.
on the objection of the brother of one of his
companions, who said that there should be
no contest, the fellow who wanted his COM
pani0n to fight struck the brother, and a
long and bitterly contested row nsued be-
tween them. Constable Bailey succeeded in
arresting one of the boys, but the other
made his escape.

A singular Circumstances.

Mr.. James Cunningham the well known
contractor, states that in laying the founda-
tions for the iron shed of the Maine Central
Railroad Company, at the West End, the
workmen, after digging thirteen feet, struck
a strata Of ice six inches thick, on the first of
September. The place where the digging
took place was on piece of ground former
ly occupied for tan yard by Gen. Dow, and
it is thought that the tan above and below
the ice had preserved it from melting all
through the hot summer months.

900, 900 acres of forest land were clear
ed each year, at which rate of con-
it would require only forty
years to clear out all woodland re-
ported as belonging to private par
ties. The great pine forests of New
England, New York, and Pensyl-
vania are rapidly disappearing, while
those of Michigan and Wisconsin
cannot last much longer at the pres
ent rate of consumption, and the
great forests of the Southern States
will disappear in their turn. Brows-
ing animals and forest fires, however
are as destructive as the axe. The
railroads, moreover, inflict enormous
damage on the forests. Ties are cut
from young trees, which would in
fifty years afford immense quantities
of valuable timber. For this pur-
pose 80, 100000 vigorous young trees
are destroyed annually.
ut all amounts to this: We are
cutting Off our forests much faster
than we are reproducing them. What
can we do to prevent our forests en-
tirely disappearing First, a wide
and extensive care on the part of the
government is necessary. 1t is a
short sighted policy to hand the tim
| Der resources of the country ever to
private parties without control. The
government timber lands should be
taken from the list of lands for sale
and be kept under the control of the
government. The general establish
ment of State holiday called 'Arbor
Day is necessary. A school of fores-
try should be established, where the
unsoIved problems could be worked
and the knowledge acquired be dis
tributed.
st goes without saying that the
government should enact and enforce
laws which shall put an end to the
criminal destruction of our forests.
We need in this State a commission
of forestry, whose first business
should be to take account of stock OF
all forests in the State. We need an
adequate library right here in Phila-
delphia of books on this subject, par
ticularly the French and German
works. PhI0deLphi0 Press.

The Hon. Daniel B, Lucus, ap-
pointed United States Senator from
West Virginia by Governor Wilson,
has written a letter in reply to re-
cent publication of the Hon. Henry
q. Davis, in which the latter urged
the election of a United States Sena-
tor at the coming called session of the
West Virginia Legislature. He COM
bats the proposition of Mr.. Davis
that "the greatest resources Of wealth
in West Virginia are her large and
valuable deposits of coal, iron ore
and her timber" Mr.. Lucas puts
against these the interests Of agricul-
ture and labor, which, he says, mo-
nopoliists are prone to overlook, and
whilst diselaiming being what is
called "a free trader" he desires the
doctrine of the national Democracy
carried out by a reduction of the sur
plus revenue. In reply to Mr.. Davis
argument in favor of the election of
a United States Senator. Mr.. Lucas
says: "Mr. Davis'S views upon the
gauge of railroad or the terminal
facilities of a steamboat wharf might,
and NO doubt would be, of interest,
but not being a lawyer his views of
constitutional law have neither value
nor weight" Mr.. Lucas adds: 1.-THE
scare about a vacancy in the sena-
torial representation for the next two
years is absurd, because if the called
session have no power to elect there
will be no vacancy, and the term of
the appointee will continue until the
regular session of 1889"

The Supreme Court of Georgia has
decided, in a case involving the right
of compensation to the owners of a
brewery for damages to property re-
sulting from Prohibition, that the
State is not liable. We quote from
the decision:
"The Local Option legislation of
this State being constitutional, as a
valid exercise of the police power it
follows that the incidental effects up
on the value of property, such as a
brewery and its fixtures, resulting in
the inability of the owners to adjust
their old business to the new law, is
dananosm 0dsq1e iJwie. The law
does not take or damage their prop
erty for the use of the public, but on
ly prevents them from taking or
damaging the public for their USE"
This is in contrast with the decis-
ion of Judge Brewer, of the United
States Circuit Court, in a Kansas
case. The matter is yet to be decid-
ed by the United States Supreme
Court.

We ought to take it for granted that
God knew what he was about when
he created the world. When the
earth was ready for man, God placed
Adam and Eve in the garden of
Eden. If he had intended two wives
for Adam he would have given them
to him.
When Adam and Eve were joined
together they We're immortal and
marriage was celestial. Now there
came time when it was Necessary
to begin populating the earth oyer
again. Men and women had Sim ed
and God wished to crush wick edn eSS
out of the world. If he had made a
mistake at creation in giving Adam
but one wife. here was grand OPP
portunity to reverse the order OF
things, and give Noah two wives,
Did God do so? No, He COM
manded Noah to take one wife and
his servants one wife. Do not you
my brethren, believe that God is
wise enough to have improved that
opportunity to rectiy any error in
judgment in parceling out to man
but one helpmeet
But God mad another opportunity
to correct the mistake if one had beer
made, when he led Levi and his wife
out of the land of Jude. If God haC
desired to reverse his Judgment by
giving Noah but a single wife, he
could have put himself right. But
he did not do it. [ take the thret
great events as proof positive, unan
sWerable and overwhelming tina
God intends man to have one wife,
